2nd unit: Stuckey, Afflalo, Mejia, JMAX, Amir.

11th and 12th guys: Hunter and Dyess.

Left undressed: Hayes, Herrmann, Brezec

Off team: Murray.

Why the change: Going with better defense. Anyone that comes in from the bench, even the 11th and 12th guys, will come in for defense primarily. Any offense they give us is just gravy.

Here, Dyess has a role. As both Amir and Samb are a bit on the thin side, Dyess can step in as needed for them. But Dyess would not be brought in against quick guys he can't keep up with.

Hunter would be limited to an occasional stint here and there to disrupt them bringing the ball up the floor. Thats better than what Hayes gives us, which is a small forward that is too slow, or a power forward that is not big enough. (Tweener, and you can put Herrmann in the same category)
